If you are not using a META build, you can't play endgame AT ALL
" I literally only read this post but i had to comment about the winter orb thing... and i agree with you that it sucks vs bosses as i played a pretty good WO build a couple leagues ago and i had to switch to my bane char to kill bosses that mattered but for clearing it was pretty good |

The problem is they are tuning the game to 20ex builds. I remember when a 100c build was amazing. I have spent 15 ex on my vortex build and I need another 10 to finish it.
Wealth needs to make builds better but there needs to be a limit to what actually helps win the game and it shouldent be in the 20ex range and needs to add diminishing returns. |

Yea but a 100 chaos build shouldn't be able to do all content with ease like it was in Blight for example. The effort to make your character better becomes completely void. You may increase some numbers but there wont be any real impact. Hell, look how many videos are there of builds from Legion deleting guardians in less than a second, then look at their gear. Is this better? Is this how the game is meant to be played?

Meta is the unthinking majority. Builds made for the masses, the lowest common denominator. Your builds suck because you're not using your brain.

" What should determine wether the content is cleared or not should be the player s skill, not just a function of how many ex orbs the player injected into his character. The gear should be what enable one build and be reasonably easy to get without spending all day playing POE. But at the same time the game should be more reliant on gameplay decisions on the player's side. Take a game like dark souls, the gear is easy to get and all matters is how well you play.

Either skill or gear. If you want to do harder content on the cheap you better be damn good at the game.

" Skill isn t a factor in current poe due to tge dps requirements of bosses and inavoidable mechanic. If you don t have enough dps you won t kill things and if you re not tanky enough you ll die. A lot. On the other hand, pilling on gear on meta buids will just make you faceroll on the content. Last edited by Stanelis1#0207 on Jan 29, 2020, 3:24:34 AM

Bosses have attacks which can mostly be avoided so you have no point here. In fact bosses like Shaper, Elder, UE, the guardians can be killed without the player getting hit. If you cant do it you get better or get better gear, there are no excuses.
The only excuse that is valid are random damage spikes but they are not boss related. |

" I m mostly talking about metamorphs here. Some stuff is simply unavoidable and leads to oneshots if you re not tanky enough, and you can t even see most things. Also, on sirus, when he warps off screen, he can and will beam you to death despite you not being able to see exactly where he is. POE isn t a skill based game right now. It s just a function of how many time/currency you can funnel into your character and how well your build is scaling. Last edited by Stanelis1#0207 on Jan 29, 2020, 3:42:20 AM
